WHIPPORWILL

2017, CORE, HEALING, PURPOSE

SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

The WHIPPORWILL bird is seldom seen, but its Song is known to many. It is, in fact, named for its Song, and given to myth and tale as a mystical creature, though it is small and its appearance quite common.

Great and greatly ornamented birds have no greater Song--for the true Song comes from the heart. What is your Core Song? At full spectrum, your Song is mystical, a part of, and part of the process of, Great All. Listen...Are you missing notes? Does your Melody suffer?

Your Song moves like fluid, pouring out and through, changing what it touches.

Sing your Song. Heal in it what needs healing. Clarify what is muddy. Expand and share it. You are your Song...and It is You.

Blessed Be This Day

For Discussion:  Describe your Core Song. Note where it is muddy and unclear. Note where it needs uplifting.

What is the perfect audience for your Song? How do you Sing your Song in such a way that your core audience can hear?

Imagine your core Song, perfected. What has changed?

EVENTS

2017, ACCORD, ACCOUNTABILITY, ALIGNMENT

SEPTEMBER 22, 2017

What occurs in Life calibrates with You and all of your factors: who you are in the moment; what you believe; how and where you invest your energy; your level of wisdom, understanding, compassion, and relevance. One Event will affect five persons in five different ways. They will write five different stories about its details. 

When you peruse your journal of past Events, what pattern do you find? How personally involved are you in these Events? How many Events did you trigger, and how many happened around you, triggered by someone else? How many Events exploded in your Life, and how many were directed specifically towards you?

If you are an herbalist accused of witchcraft, the Event is very personal. You, the person, are being singled out for punishment—right? Draw back the curtain, however, and see how the stage hands are moving about, adding their beliefs, ideas, and energies to this Event.

The Event has become centralized around the herbalist, but it is so much more. Some persons in the crowd might have been critically assisted by the herbalist. Some persons may have lost loved ones because the herbalist failed, or wouldn’t try to help. Some persons have been so socialized by the idea that herbalism is evil, they cannot see beyond that. And some persons have caught the virus, the wave that travels between persons, shifting their vibration, and justifying what the larger force is exuding.

An Event that began as an inquisition may bloom into a burning, with formerly placid townsfolk wielding pitchforks as they scream: “Burn the witch!” How does this happen?

Look at your world and its consensus. Events motor by you in a steady stream. Some Events you harmonize with, and some are antithesis to you. You might say, “How can they do such things?” with the idea of exclusion . . . but who is THEY?

You are THEY; we are THEY. All of humankind is THEY.

This is difficult to acknowledge, that any part of the self can contribute to Events with which we disagree, and more, Events to which we are adamantly opposed. But . . . even non-judgmental energy is wielded by persons who have Beliefs and Tenets, and those Beliefs and Tenets affect the whole. This is how peaceful protest can separate persons from their actions, and gather in a tide to fight destructive Events.

Taken to the level of personal, what riots are happening in your life—what Events? You are the herbalist, and the townsfolk . . . for you contain All.

Understand Events for what they are, for your part in them, for what you allow even when you disagree. Better, create Events that dovetail with your Belief, your Passions, and your Vision. Leading is a sure way to bring Events into focus, and focus changes your life exponentially.

Today, peruse the Events currently affecting your life . . . then create an Event that furthers your destiny. When you are Master rather than follower or participant, the Events in your Life can be made beautiful.

For Discussion: Identify the Current Event with which you align, or actively do not resist. State your belief about this Current Event's tenets.

What action in the world is this Event currently creating? Who is most affected by these actions?

If you are in agreement with this Current Event, how could you actively and more genuinely contribute more? If you are in disagreement with this Current Event, how could you actively and more genuinely oppose these actions?

How would this change the world? (The THEY) How would this change You? (Part of The THEY)

ALL THE TIME

2017, INTEGRITY, PURPOSE, TIME

SEPTEMBER 21, 2017

The symphony continues, but Songs end. New Songs begin, with a new composer for each.

You are who you are today because of the choices you’ve made. You are a product of Time and Experience. In the Great All, Time is yours . . . All the Time. While mortal, however, Time is the greatest commodity. It is limited, and as such must be used as the precious resource that it is.

When you assess your day, how much of your Time was used for vital pursuits and how much Time did you otherwise use? Did you give a great portion of your Time to worry and striving, to anger and jealousy and revenge and hate? Did you continue placing steps on a path that you knew would lead to no good end? How are you managing your day?

And, how are you managing your Time, your mark upon the world, the evidence that you are here, now, doing these things? You are The Composer. Write your Songs well. Live your Life well. Be well. One day, All The Time will once again be yours.

In the Present, use the Time you have in pursuit of happiness and Love. By drawing Light, you inspire others to do the same. Your beautiful music causes others to stop and listen, causing them to compose their own new Songs.

Sing. Dream. Compose. Draw your actions from Love. And realize that every moment is precious. Use all of your Time well, all of the Time.

Blessed Be This Day

For Discussion: Considering yesterday only, how wisely did you use your Time? In percentage, how much was spent in loving and higher pursuits, and how much was spent otherwise? Can you identify how all of your time was spent?

Outside your higher pursuits, how did you spend your time? Do not count idle time spent as lower pursuit time if it was necessary for rest, regeneration, and enjoyment of life. Do you feel guilty when you are not actively pursuing activities that others consider productive? How do you divide what you consider productive and what you consider non-productive? How does this differ from lower pursuits?

How much time do you give to guilt, regret, living in the past, and replaying scenarios you have no control over? How might your life improve if you re-purposed those allotments of time to higher pursuits?

BRIGHTENING

2017, BRIGHTENING, JOY, TRANSFORMATION

SEPTEMBER 20, 2017

When the Light is rising inside you, a Brightening occurs. All conditions and perceptions of those conditions, lift, become Brighter and Clearer. You see beyond your self, beyond the stage, beyond the drama and supposition.

The Brightening is like entering sunshine from the dark of a room. It is standing in a field while all the flowers turn their faces to the sun and open, simultaneously. It is a feeling of drunken cells and a giddy mind. It is joy.

Perhaps this has occurred for you when first looking at a newborn, or receiving the thing you long hoped for but didn’t dare expect. Perhaps you felt The Brightening when some doom passed you by and you were released.

But . . . what if you learned to call The Brightening? What if you could be in Its presence by will? What if The Brightening could be a tool for use in lifting, healing, and leading in The Light?

Sit quietly as you find an event that brought you into space and time with The Brightening. Feel that feeling. Become aware of That Light in your cells, That Joy in your mind. Let your Whole Self loose into the Great All, hearing your Song and the Songs of All Others.

In the presence of The Brightening all things are possible. Hold that. Remember that you are Loved. Remember that you are an intrinsic and indivisible part of All That Is.

While you are Brightening in The All,

The All is Brightening with You.

Now . . . Shine.

For Discussion:  Having given consideration to the quality and purpose of the Light and Darkness within you, and their connection to Great All, draw upon your Light, strengthening Its Eternal connection. Hold open that floodgate until you feel saturated with Joy.

Have you a ready purpose for Brightening at this moment? Would you like to direct this influx of additional Light to some quandary or perceived shortage in your life? See this flooding of Light surrounding and lifting this person, place, or thing. See the intense healing occurring in real time.

How much resistance did you feel during this process? Identify any feelings of resistance. Did you believe your self a pretender? Did you believe your self to be undeserving? Did you believe the process to be make-believe? Study your beliefs about your self value and the value and reality of Great All and Its workings.

You are a Child of God, made in the Image of God.

INTO THE LIGHT

2017, CO-CREATING, LIGHT, RE-MAKING

SEPTEMBER 19, 2017

THIS IS FOR YOU, WHO HEARS US

To dispel darkness, the common thinking is that one must move into the Light. Where is the Light? Is the Light somewhere where you are not?

The Light is inside You; without the Light inside you, you would be inanimate; you would possess no Life, no knowledge, no feeling. Only voids outside Great All are without Light, and that is not for our discussion.

The Light is inside You and is connected to All Light, to the degree and volume at which you allow it to be, and at which you are currently able. Let it be said then, that moving Into The Light is liken to moving into The Self; it is liken to more deeply connecting to Self and Great All; it is becoming more consciously aware of your sentient presence within All That Is.

Because we are made of Star Stuff, building blocks of matter and pre-matter and supra-matter, The Light precedes our forms. We arise from Light and will arise again Into The Light—over and over again.

As we spoke to you of the condition of More, we now speak to you of where that most prime condition leads: to your source and sustenance, that is with You always, aware always, without lapse, judgment or debt. 

Light is the great builder, and so is also the great destroyer. Light re-makes all things. Would you re-make something? Expose it to the Light. As Co-Creator, part of your Gift is re-making. 

But remember: each thing that you re-make, re-makes You . . .

You will never lose Your Self. You can only lose your Beliefs about Your Self. Take what you will Into The Light. Let it be re-made. Let Your Self be re-made. 

Meet Your Self on the path, Singing. 

Let the Risen Light lend harmonies to Your Sacred Song.

For Discussion:  Describe to your self, or to those in your study group, where you believe Light lives and how it is different from Darkness. Describe the qualities of each.

Where inside you, do Light and Dark live? Describe the qualities of each, as part of you. How did they appear at Creation and how have they evolved?

How do you apply and direct the powers and potentials of both Light and Dark? Do you feel the connection of your internal powers to the eternal/ "external" powers? What does that connection imply for your ability to apply and direct these powers?

ALLOWANCE

2017, BOUNDARIES

SEPTEMBER 18, 2017

How much distraction do you allow in your life; how much pain? By setting healthy and strong boundaries, you may reduce friction. By setting Allowances that filter for the optimum quantity and quality of distraction, you may grow from opportunities rather than feel overwhelmed by too large amounts of disruptive factors.

When you draw a don’t-cross line, you state to your self and to others what may occur in your presence. This is not to say that the lines you draw will never be crossed, but removing the most destructive and least helpful filtrates helps to keep you on task and focused.

There is no apology needed for this. You are setting boundaries for your self. While these boundaries may affect the inappropriate infringement by others, you are entitled to make and abide by these settings.

We realize that many experiences are not optimal in life. We realize that others make inappropriate advances and take advantage of what they consider weakness and indecision. We are suggesting that to some degree, you may control these effects on your field and person.

And this must be done in understandable ways, by making verbal statements and showing by example what you will and will not accept. Do not leave to vagaries what should be made clear—and it should be made clear in a language that the other persons may understand.

What boundary needs establishing or strengthening in your life? Which Allowances have you failed to set or failed to strengthen? Set Allowances that filter for your optimum influence and see how your clarity and sense of peace grow.

For Discussion:  What boundary in your life is currently being crossed to the most detrimental effect? Why do you allow this?

Why is your current boundary for this intrusion too weak? Are the circumstances involved causing you to make justifications--such as for a close family member or a superior at work? What is the worst that could happen if you strengthened this boundary and gave firm verbal direction for protecting your space?

Imagine your boundary intact and strong, working at its most efficient level. How do you feel? How does your life improve?

MINING FOR GEMS

2017, DISCERNMENT

SEPTEMBER 17, 2017

Rarely, a Miner finds a precious gem that easily and wholly reveals itself. More often, Mining requires tedious labors. Experience improves the process, but the reality of content still applies: the Miner may process tons of materials in order to harvest a handful of gems.

That said, the wise Miner carefully chooses their site. One would not excavate for a gem in a location where conditions do not support its formation. One would excavate in an area carefully studied for its potential. These are very basic tenets.

Likewise, one would not mine for wisdom where conditions do not support its formation. One would excavate in areas carefully studied for potential. Why would you study the methods of a thief when your real goal is to become a rare procurer and outstanding seller? Why would you immerse yourself among cowards and liars if your goal is strengthening your Truth and Courage?

Standards, research, introspection, and comparative studies are necessary to determine the most fertile fields and the best applications of your time for your tasks. If you want clean water to drink, do not seek it in the dirty river. If you want to Mine for gems among the Forage, seek it where it may best be found.

Old habits can be a unified force against new, better behaviors. Let us say that as a child you liked to look for rocks in the river. You grow into an adult who wants to learn gem mining and find yourself in that same river. Will you apply your child habits, or will you apply a higher standard of Mining, still able to enjoy your childlike excitement of being in the river and finding beautiful things?

What happens when you are disappointed, when the Mining is not going well? Do you easily tire and abandoning all of your wise adult knowledge, find yourself squatting in the river attempting to apply the child ideas (leaving “B” to return to “A”)? When you form a plan constructed by Wisdom, do you apply your tenacity and self-faith until your goals are met?

Mining for anything has its challenges. Inventors often fail many times before their workable idea is made manifest. The Highest Writers re-write until the words obey them. Talented composers and artists continue to tweak their work until its Song is complete. Mining for illumination, wisdom, and clarity is quite the same.

You may process a lifetime of Forage to find what feels like a tiny amount of value. By applying yourself in fields that have been studied for the production of what you seek, you increase your odds. By feeding yourself quality ideas, quality Forage, you increase your odds. And by seeing the potential in things not yet considered, you will increase your success.

Be a wise and steady Miner. Look for Wisdom among the mundane. Seek Truth where un-Truths are dauntingly gathered. Be a consistent and high-minded worker in the Mines.

The world’s ideas are many, so finding the Truths requires discernment and excavation. Train your mind. your heart, and your eyes, to find the gems. Mine only where those gems might be found. By streamlining the mining process, your harvest of gems increases.

For Discussion: What are you currently seeking in areas where your High Mind knows this thing or these things do not exist? Is this search yielding to child mind? Have you slipped back to point 'A' from point 'B'?

Do you hope to fail in your seeking? Do you fear how finding your goal will cause your life to shift.

Choose one thing that you seek and look at it clearly, in an unbiased and unconditional way. Do you believe true things about this scenario--both the thing sought and the journey to find it? What do you discover about your self and your journey following this exercise?

BOUILLABAISSE

2017, CREATION, ELEMENTS, SYNERGY

SEPTEMBER 16, 2017

The Bouillabaisse is a dish made of what might be considered inedible fishes, broth, certain vegetables, and rarified herbs. Having brought together unlikely elements, the Bouillabaisse is now a delicious treat. This is an art. This is a leap of faith. This is Creation.

Ingredients for a Bouillabaisse exist at all times in your Life. Disparate elements, unlinked to one another in your thoughts, are circling in your fields of influence. Does the sow’s ear make a silk purse? Perhaps it makes something more interesting. Perhaps the sow’s ear makes an unusual and beautiful object that is outstanding in its design and utility, all due to its creator seeing it in a non-judgmental way. 

Look at the elements in your Life. Suspend disbelief. See objects as if you’ve never seen them before. Their core elements have arisen from Earth. Can you find the Song-Thread in each that resonates with the next element?

Look at the beliefs in your Life. Suspend disbelief. See how these thoughts have arisen and how these beliefs are tied to other beliefs. How might they arise from a single tenet? In what ways are these beliefs true, and in what way are they false?

You exist in a chaos of elements that are available for your use. See that a house can be made from discarded trash. See that the felon can embrace a loving future. See that planet Earth can sustain the human race, with respect and care.

See what elements you can combine into your own Bouillabaisse. Take elements of water, earth, wind, and fire and combine them in new ways. Shake up your Life. Challenge the status quo.

Let your Bouillabaisse become a favorite dish for you as you learn to Chef. As you learn to create higher Forage, let the Bouillabaisse tradition of combining surprising elements surprise You.

Create. Lead. Invite to your table what is new and formerly unSung. Serve Great All by serving your powers of Creation.

For Discussion: What disparate parts have you laying about that could be combined in new ways to make something useful?

Would using these parts, which are attached to memories, help you to expediate the processing of the memories, transmuting something heavy into something light and forward thinking?

Did looking through the disparate parts enable you to be rid of non-useful parts, thereby freeing up your space and your psyche? How so? Do you feel clearer after this process?
